Multi-Hand Blackjack Rules & Terms |
What is Multi-Hand Blackjack?"Multi-Hand Blackjack" is not a casino card game. Rather, Multi-Hand Blackjack is a whole class of casino card games. Wild Jack Online Casino has 17 multi-hand blackjack games, from Multi-Hand Atlantic City Blackjack to Multi-Hand European Blackjack to Multi-Hand Vegas Strip Blackjack. What they have in common is that they all allow you to play several hands of blackjack at the same time.

You have a wide variety to choose from, and it is almost certain that you will find at least one multi-player blackjack game that is right for you. Placing Your Multi-Hand Blackjack BetsOn the multi-hand blackjack table, you will see five betting circles. Before you even start to play, you have two decisions to make: how many hands to bet on, and how much to bet.Each betting circle corresponds to one hand of blackjack. If you place a bet in one betting circle, you will be dealt one hand of blackjack. Two bets means two hands of blackjack. And so on, up to the maximum of five bets on five hands of blackjack. How much to bet on each hand is up to you, but remember that each hand is independent, so you do not have to bet the same amount on each hand. If you want to, you can mix high bets, low bets, and moderate bets on different hands in the same round of multi-hand blackjack. It's another way to make the game more interesting. Multi-Hand Blackjack RulesBecause multi-hand blackjack comprises a class of blackjack games, it is impossible to speak of "the" rules of multi-hand blackjack.

The rules of Multi-Hand Classic Blackjack mirror the Classic Blackjack rules, and the rules of Multi-Hand Pontoon Blackjack follow the Pontoon Blackjack rules. Most, but not all, multi-hand blackjack games follow, more or less, the standard traditional blackjack rules. Other multi-hand blackjack variations have more unusual or untraditional rules. So the important thing is to learn and understand the rules of the particular multi-hand blackjack game that you have chosen to play.Take Your Time Playing Multi-Hand Blackjack Online
Definitions & Terms for Multi Hand BlackjackThese are the terms that are used when playing multi-hand blackjack and their definitions:"21" This is when the value of the cards dealt equal 21, but is not a Blackjack. For example, a 9 of spades, a 4 of diamonds and an 8 of clubs equals 21. (Blackjack always beats 21.) Blackjack This is when your hand contains an Ace and a card with a value of 10. It is the strongest hand, and automatically stands. It cannot be beaten, only matched. Bust If your hand value exceeds 21, your hand is bust. The hand is over and you lose your bet. Denomination The name of a particular card. A Jack has a value of 10, but it's denomination is Jack. Double Down When you double down, you double the amount of your bet, receive one (and only one) more card, and stand. Hit This is when you request another card from the dealer. Insurance This is a side bet against the possibility of the Dealer getting Blackjack. You can take Insurance if you do not have Blackjack, and the Dealer's first card is an Ace. Insurance costs half your original bet. Push This is when your hand and the Dealer's hand tie. You are paid your original bet. Split You can split two cards with the same denomination, such as two Queens or two Fours. Your hand is divided into two separate hands, and a bet equal to your original bet is placed on each of the two hands. You have effectively doubled your bet. A new card is dealt to each hand and you play these hands as normal. In some multi-hand blackjack variations, you can split cards of different denominations but the same value, such as a Queen and a King. Stand This is when you decline to take any more cards. This ends the play of your hand. The Dealer plays his hand and both hands are compared. Value Value refers to the numerical value of a card. Jack, Queen and King have the value of 10. The Ace card has a value of either 1 or 11.
